The new normal? Addressing gun violence in America.

The new normal? Addressing gun violence in America. Am J Orthopsychiatry. 2015 May;85(3):201-2 Authors: McLeigh JD Abstract Despite the fact that children die every day from gun violence, school shootings upset us in ways that are difficult to comprehend. In our minds, schools serve as safe havens for children. When that image is shattered, the unpredictability and randomness of such heinous acts leave us wondering if anywhere is safe anymore. This issue of the American Journal of Orthopsychiatry includes a set of commentaries that seek to help us better understand responses to gun violence, challenge some of the typical policy responses to such events, and seek to offer constructive strategies for preventing gun violence.
